Pits, like service bays, in commercial garages and automotive workshops are used for a variety of tasks. From tire rotations (which by the way, can make you at least $24,000 per year according to industry statistics for a practically inexpensive investment!) to brake inspections, fast lube pit jacks are your go to tools for accomplishing them all!
What are Fast Lube Jacks?
Fast lube jacks are specially and specifically designed for lube pits, inspection pits, and alignment ramp systems. Not only that, for lifting systems with dual points of contact, installing not one but instead two, fast lube and pit jacks can really bring out the full potential of your underused service pits and transform them into full-service bays, helping you perform:
- Tire and Wheel Service
- Alignment Checks and Service
- Lubrication Service
- Suspension Service
- Front-end Service
- Brake System Service, among many others.
What are Lube Services?
Lube services needed by your vehicle are offered by commercial garages and vehicle workshops in every corner of the world. Automotive lube technicians are highly skilled mechanics who use their expertise to provide checks and lubricate all moving parts of your vehicle. This is done to reduce friction between the vehicle’s parts and diminish wear and tear while increasing its efficiency.
It normally consists of an oil and filter change, tire pressure and condition check, check of under bonnet fluids, hoses, lights, and a general good look under the vehicle. These checks improve the efficacy of the engine of your vehicle and keep it safe for future use under all circumstances. Along with the skill of expert technicians, lube services also require the aid of specialized jack and lifting systems.
Why Do You Need Fast Lube Jacks?
As mentioned above, having the right fast lube jacks is a necessary condition before climbing down into lube service pits. These jacks help lift heavy loads quickly, safely, and efficiently, often from two points of contact- one in the front and one in the rear- when used on lifting systems.
In fact, powerful fast lube jacks enable you to lift the entire front or rear end at one go, instead of only lifting one corner in either direction. On top of that, lifting systems compatible with dual points of contact of fast lube jacks – one in the front and one in the rear – allow the effective lifting of the entire vehicle, saving both time and energy.
What are Service Pits?
In commercial automotive garages and workshops, a service pit is a common sight. These are designated spaces, often below ground levels, specifically cut out or designed to accommodate personnel to enter and inspect the underside of automobiles, which remain on top of the service pit.
Confused? Let us paint a clearer picture for you. Imagine this. A trench is built on the floor so people can go beneath it to service an object that lies on top of the trench, above the floor surface. These essentially eliminate the stress of lying down under vehicles for long hours to access the undercarriage.
